Media Reviews
This is an important book. It counters the overly sentimental and unhistorical view of Celtic religious and situates Cetlic theology squarely within the institutional medieval Christian Church.
Richard J. Hauser, S.J., Theological Studies, December 2001

In his study of the texts he has selected, O'Loughlin has combined high academic standards with pastoral thrust to give us a volume that will be of great interest to those with the genuine 'Celtic Theology' that can be discovered in early Irish documents.
Irish Theological Quarterly 2002
